I Fund Abortions, and YOU CAN TOO

Smelly bowling shoes. Delicious pitchers of PBR. Hot wings and tiny pizzas. Feminist activists in Rosie the Riveter getup and tutus. This is the stuff of true abortion access in New York, and the US. This is the New York Abortion Access Fund bowl-a-thon at its finest and most brilliant.

The Hyde Amendment banned Medicaid coverage of abortion in 1976. We have this musty old piece of legislation to thank for bringing us all together each year to show off our best (and, in my case, worst) bowling moves. Despite the fact that Americans believe that abortion care should be informed by medical facts, nonjudgmental, comfortable, andaffordable, our health system is decades behind and low-income women suffer the consequences.
